First nothing new in the "Rumour Buster" BIG LOL:D:E
I agree with previous long post ROSTERING IS CRAP, COSTY, TIRY AND UNFAIR.
Please managers during your daily "crisis fighting meeting" make a close study and check your stats, it's ridiculous.
You should have done that before axing our conditions.
Give a gold Najm award to the one able to make rostering efficient and fair, not to the one whos just telling you " Blame the pilots !".
Because we are doing what is rostered, not what we want to do.

No more OAL ALD
 

Those who had an ALD in a city not serve by EK will receive a letter stating that it will be modified to the nearest EK destination.
-Working 4 days more per month with the same salary
-not more then 12 days off, the rest in reserve
-no more other airline ALD, pay your own ticket...

Some would say we should still be happy for having a job.
But I had a pretty good one before coming...Now I would not have come at those conditions and I can't go back!!

Still, I guess someone can make a living at those condition.
But, is this just the beginning of something worse to come??? :sad:

I believe Sabeji that it applies only to the US pilots - because EK now flies to their home country.. Just like the Aussies who don't get tickets to Broome for example if they are from there there, just Perth..(Or to make it more interesting they may send you to SYD:D)

That said - if it STATES 'Littleville' or whatever in your CONTRACT, then you could fight that one...

The usual 'misinformation'
 

I do agree with the fact that EK now flies to the US and all that. However, we have been flying to the US for about 4 years now, and most of the Yanks came in AFTER we started flying to NY, being informed by EK that they got one ALD ticket HOME.
Of course, our coverage of the US has improved a little bit, but even so, EK has lured in pilots with yet again false promises. Luckily they didn't lie about accommodation, fatigue, rosters, ... :E

It(ALT) also applies to some Cananian cities, dont have the details. Why would you leave a good job to come her? Let me quess big airplane ego.

Folks stick to the topic. While the issue of ALD's is topical, I think the debate here is on Productivity Pay. The other issue should perhaps be an independent thread.
